UNSPSC 85704831: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left patella, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left patella, percutaneous endoscopic approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 0QPF4KZ

UNSPSC 85704831 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left patella, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—bears no relationship to the opportunities recently posted under this code. The six most recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code instead cover occupational medical surveillance services, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. These solicitations represent administrative healthcare services, benefits management, and staffing functions, not surgical procedures. The mismatch suggests either a data or classification error in the state and local procurement system.

The recent opportunities span Arizona (Phoenix Fire and Police pension boards), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), Washington (Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). Issuing bodies include city retirement offices, municipal health systems, county human resources and procurement divisions, state transportation agencies, and county juvenile justice authorities. No pattern of repeat buyers or geographic concentration emerges. Given the fundamental disconnect between the code's stated scope and what state and local jurisdictions are actually soliciting under it, this code shows little decision relevance for vendors in orthopedic or surgical services.
